The Weekly Roundup podcast features a panel discussion with multiple speakers analyzing recent events and legislative actions in Texas. The hosts delve into the end of the legislative session, highlighting key bills that passed, such as education funding, school choice, and the THC ban, while also discussing the political dynamics between the governor, speaker, and lieutenant governor. They explore the winners and losers of the session, the last-minute judicial pay raise issue, and priority bills from Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. Additionally, the panel covers topics like border and immigration policy, the expansion of the state's medical marijuana program, a lawmaker's retirement, and a lawsuit related to in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, ending with a discussion on BlackRock being removed from the state's fossil fuel divestment list and a lighter "Tweetery" segment.
